A government-endorsed parenting guide that describes symptoms of homosexuality has kicked up a storm on the Internet, with human rights and sexuality activists expressing shock and disgust.

Sin Chew Daily today reported that the Education Ministry had endorsed the guide as helpful to parents and teachers.

It was launched during a seminar in Penang yesterday. The event, billed as “Parenting in addressing the issue of LGBTs (lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders)”, was officiated by Deputy Education Minister Mohd Puad Zarkashi.

The guide listed four symptoms each for gays and lesbians:

For gays:

Muscular body and a fondness for showing off the body by wearing clothing, such as by wearing V-necks and sleeveless tops

I wish a bunch of secretly Moderate/Liberal types would run for office & aspire to Cleric vocations.

Same goes for Americans, we need an influx of Progressives running for office and entering seminaries.

Why don't folks with a conscience ever run for positions of authority en masse? Same holds true for the entertainment industry. Gals, if you don't like the depiction of women in comic books, music videos, movies....why don't you flock to those jobs in droves. Sure, it may be harder to get your foot in the door but C'MON! Progressive women, RUN FOR POLITICAL OFFICES!

If Progressives actually strived to fill in leadership positions in society this mess wouldn't be so bad!

Reminds me of Ron White's routine, where the bouncer tried to keep him out of a bar because he was wearing a hat. The bouncer said only gays wear hats, and they didn't want the place becoming a gay bar - to which White replied "I'm from Texas, and everybody wears hats ... the only way we can tell if somebody's gay is if they have a haircut like yours."

> A tendency to carry big handbags, similar to the kinds used by women

An advice from a bisexual guy to gay people: Fuck handbags. Get a real manly backpack. You've got to admit it's more practical, because you can fit more shit in it. Dozens of gay people already swear by backpacks. Join the movement!
